Better Organ Health with Yoga Health & Fitness

It really surprises me at just how our normal lifestyle has become so draining and is affecting our health in such a way that finding the energy to do something about it can lead to even more stress. Ask yourself the question, when did you last meditate? Or take a long walk in nature to clear your mind?

Learning about our organ health and the emotions that are represented by them can generate a clear insight into where in our body our Qi is not flowing freely.

The Liver

Also known as the lifer because it is the giver of life, the liver is the largest gland in the body and has a variety of functions such as storing blood when we rest. When the liver is not in balance then we usually experience intolerance which leads to frustration & anger and in very extreme cases, Rage. The element that is associated with the liver is wood and its colour is Green.

The kidneys

You might not know it but your kidneys work extremely hard in pumping and balancing fluids in the body, circulate around 15 gallons of fluid every hour, amazing` let’s hear it for the kidneys. The emotion connected to the kidneys is inappropriate fear and anxiety during normal day to day activities. The element for the kidneys is water and the colour is deep sea blue.

The Spleen

Here is another organ that really affects our mental health when out of balance and one function is to filter our blood. The spleen is emotionally connected to pensiveness or you could call it the worry organ when out of balance. The spleens element is earth and the colour is earthy yellow.

Organs are Emotions

So you begin to get the picture when we look at the body from this perspective that the organs are right at the core of our mental health and taking yoga & fitness classes or going on long walks really helps to create balance.

Meditation can be practiced in many ways but one of the best is the observation of thoughts passing through your mind without feeling the need to think about them or become involved with where the thought came from and why it is here.
